As the countdown to SummerSlam approaches, WWE fans are excited not only for the main event, but also for the potential of the action storylines. The main story centers on Finn Balor and his future at Judgment Day. There have been rumors going around for weeks, with many insiders convinced that a scam is about to happen. Balor has been quickly gaining popularity in the WWE, but his position has been declining, and this could be his opportunity to make a comeback.
Finn Balor’s decline followed by his return to success
Finn Balor has experienced many highs and lows during his time in WWE. In 2016, he created history by becoming the inaugural WWE Universal Champion at SummerSlam. Regrettably, destiny had different intentions. An injury forced him to vacate the title just 24 hours later, and since then Balor has been trying to regain his position. While he was still in the WWE, his accomplishments have eluded him, leaving fans and analysts to question when he will be back on top. As SummerSlam approaches, the calls for major changes are getting louder. Finn Balor, despite being loyal to Judgment Day, is very competitive. His desire to return to the limelight is too strong to be ignored, and many believe that his betrayal of the party is not a matter of if, but when.

Making a war with Damian Priest
One of the most intriguing elements of this plot is the increasing conflict between Finn Balor and Damian Priest. Priest has climbed the ranks in WWE and currently possesses the Money in the Bank trophy this season, presenting an opportunity for him to potentially capture the world championship. This will increase the intensity for the power struggle in March. Balor, frustrated by Philistine’s recent success, decided it was time to strike.
The idea that Balor might challenge Damian Priest for the World Heavyweight Championship isn’t entirely accurate. In fact, this could spark a real controversy beyond SummerSlam. Balor’s betrayal could lead to a long-term story that would unite former friends in a battle for supremacy. This could be the spark that will fuel Balor’s career and give him the edge he needs to get back to the top of WWE.
The Liv Morgan Connection
Another layer to this scam is Liv Morgan, a name linked to Finn Balor’s future plans. Balor and Morgan’s history goes back to their days in the Bullet Club, when they were united against the same enemy. The relationship led to speculation that Morgan played a major role in Balor’s decision to start Judgment Day.
At SummerSlam, we may see an unlikely relationship. If Balor joins Morgan, it could mark the start of a new chapter in their two careers. Morgan, who has his own interests in the WWE, may see this as an opportunity to strengthen his position and use Balor’s deception as a way to promote his own campaign. Together they become a force that challenges the status quo and shakes the foundations of WWE.
JD McDonagh’s work on fraud is imminent
JD McDonagh, who has been close to Balor in recent weeks, added fuel to the fire. Their partnership resulted in a WWE Tag Team Championship, which may have been a major factor in Balor’s transition. Macdonald, who is known for his loyalty to Balor, may follow him to a new team, where he could compete at Judgment Day.
There have been some subtle hints about recent WWE events, with Macdonagh talking to Liv Morgan backstage on an episode of Raw. This seemingly innocent interaction could be the start of a bigger idea, one where MacDonagh and Balor abandon their current partners and choose a new, more ambitious path.
Rhea Ripley’s Blind Spot
Amidst all the speculation, one question remains: Where does Rhea Ripley fit into all of this? The Eradicator has always been the dominant force in Judgment Day, but his recent loss has raised eyebrows. While he was gone, Damian Priest, Balor and J.D. checked on him. McDonagh seems to be aloof. This may indicate that Ripley was not fully aware of the violence in his groups.
Ripley is in trouble, especially with Liv Morgan’s involvement in the mythology. If Morgan is using Dominik Mysterio as a distraction, Ripley may be shocked by what is happening right before her eyes. This lack of awareness may be where Balor and MacDonagh begin to execute their plan to turn SummerSlam into a night of betrayal and chaos.
Non-stop summer kicks
As SummerSlam approaches, anticipation is building. The betrayal by Finn Balor at Judgment Day could go down in history as a WWE storyline that significantly impacts the company in the upcoming months. Supporters are eagerly anticipating Balor’s potential comeback to the top, even if it involves turning against former friends. The stage is set, the only question left is if Balor can seize the moment.
